We built this house ourselves and thoroughly enjoyed creating this very special place. We had a house in France for more than 30 years so loved the idea of using our experience of French properties in the design of this lovely home. However we feel it is now time to move nearer our daughter and pass the baton on to new owners, who might also want to develop the wood clad garage. This has very strong foundations, a fiberglass roof, is well insulated and includes electrics, lighting and water so could always be converted into an annex, subject to the appropriate permissions.

The house is very secure as there are CCTV cameras and, as it is in such a private location, hardly anyone actually knows it is here. The garden also provides added security as the site is surrounded by trees and shrubs but both the house and the garden are very easy to manage so this special property could always become an excellent and unusual holiday home and weekend retreat. Particularly as we are only a couple of minutes’ drive or a short stroll to the clifftops at the beautiful blue flag Botany Bay.

We are not far from the North Foreland Golf club for golfing aficionados and if you want a drink or a meal without having to take the car out there is the Botany Bay hotel or the Captain Digby restaurant. A regular bus service takes you around Thanet on the Loop and there is a useful convenience store nearby. Broadstairs town centre is only a five minute drive with its mainline high speed rail service where trains can whisk you to St Pancras in under an hour and a half, a wide variety of individual shops, bars and restaurants and a number of annual events such as Folk Week, the Dickens Festival and the Food Fair. There are also excellent education facilities with Outstanding primary and grammar schools as well as first class private schools in the area.
